KMBC: “Gill Studios, would not confirm information about the material. They would not deny it either. The company president would not comment when asked…about the reports. But at least three sources close to the plant’s operations reported the Obama-Bayh material was being produced.”

Hard to know what to make of the company’s non-comment, though there’s not much to go on here.

BREAKING FROM AP: Congressman Chet Edwards, the Texas Democrat who represents President George W. Bush's district, is a "finalist" in the veepstakes, according to an Associated Press report.

"Democratic officials say that Edwards was one of the few Democrats whose background was checked by Obama's campaign, and he was a finalist for the job."

Edwards has been favored by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as a vice presidential candidate, and his conservative record and background on veterans' issues could help Obama fill out his ticket.

Edwards told CNN Friday that he was “honored” that Pelosi and others thought he’d be a good vice president. “And I’m honored to be considered by the Obama campaign in this process."

He said he had not had any recent conversation with Obama.

AP says Obama’s choice is imminent – “hours away.”

But on the day before Obama is expected to appear with his running mate, is the McCain camp leaking?

“There are other veep choices. Tim Kaine seems like a solid man, but selecting him would be disastrous. It would underline all the anxieties voters have about youth and inexperience. Evan Bayh has impeccably centrist credentials, but the country is not in the mood for dispassionate caution.

“Biden’s the one. The only question is whether Obama was wise and self-aware enough to know that.”

Enticing: “People close to the campaign also floated a wild-card choice, Gen. David H. Petraeus, the top American commander in Iraq. They said it was not beyond the realm of possibility that Mr. McCain would ask him to join the ticket, although Gen. Petraeus has no experience in elective government and has said repeatedly that he is not interested in the vice presidency.”

UPDATE: NBC’s Andrea Mitchell reports this morning that Biden has been “gathering the clan” in Delaware — one of his sons flew in from Maine on Wednesday.

Obama may not even have notified his running mate of his decision when Biden’s son made the trip, but this could be a sign of confidence (or perhaps anxiety — comforts of family, etc.) from the Foreign Relations Committee chairman.

ALSO: Indiana Republican Sen. Dick Lugar, mentioned by some this week as a potential cross-party VP selection after Obama listed him among his most trusted colleagues at the Saddleback Church last Saturday, is headed abroad for two weeks for a trip focused on energy security, reports the Richmond, Ind., Palladium-Item.

This would seem to remove the (very) long-shot contender from the veepstakes.
